In your app.yml under your DISCOURSE\_HOSTNAME line (it can go many places but that one makes sense), add DISCOURSE\_HOSTNAME\_ALIASES: domain.com,other.domain.com and early reports suggest that you’ll get valid certs for those domains and that accessing https://domain.com will properly redirect you to your DISCOURSE\_HOSTNAME without a certificate error.

Your sertificate is for `supportgroupsnew.com`, not for `www.supportgroupsnew.com`. So you should recheck your settings. How did you exacly
- did redirection
- got certificate for www-url (and are you telling that certificate too; that depends how you did redirecting)
Shortly — we need more info about what you have done.

No I can, because I don’t know your setup — are you using a reverse proxy, done it using docker or something else.
Perhaps you could tell what you hqve done so far?

Your hostname is without www, so you will get a certificate for that, not for www.etc.
And where and how did you do redirection?

You can follow the above link that has instructions to request both certs. On those instructions don’t make sense (and really, even if they do) I recommend that you put your site on www and use [forcewww.com](http://forcewww.com) to do the redirect.
Browsers hide the www from the user (and most don’t notice urls at all), so there is no benefit in using the bare domain.
